Forum Overview :: Battlefield 2

Scans of PC Gamer's Battlefield 2142 article on the annoyingly cumbersome rapidshare.de server.
  • BF2 engine + "various physics and visual enhancements"

  • Mechs are two-seaters and "top of the food chain". Anti-air gun on top, mouse-tracking AT rockets, and twin miniguns.

  • Two factions only: American-European Alliance vs. Pan-Asian Coalition (Russia/Middle East/India(!!!))

  • No lasers at all.

  • Instead of hiding to provide a spawn point, squad leaders can now place a (destroyable) squad spawn beacon and join the fight instead of hanging back. Beacon stays around, even if the squad leader is killed.

  • "staying in your squad for a long period of time will increase your rewards at the end of the round"

  • EMP grenades that have a cumulative effect; one hit slows and blurs vision, multiple hits can stop and blind a vehicle completely.

  • Fast vehicles can outrun "chaser mines" or get close to an enemy to confuse the chaser's lock.

  • Only four classes: Recon, Assault, Support, Anti-Tank -- each with two sub-classes that you specialize in as part of the RPG side. Recon > SpecOps/Sniper, Support > Medic/Engineer.

  • Assault grenades detonate on impact of live target, turn into claymores if they land on ground.

  • No parachutes.

  • Buddy list.

                I forgot that BFV had three sides too -- US/NVA/VC. So you lose even harder. NT by Fussbett 04/11/2006, 8:50pm PDT NEW
